Brenda Macarthur

Brenda is the Better Hearing Center's Patient Care Coordinator (PCC). She is usually the first happy voice and face you see whenever you contact or visit our office. Our patients are constantly remarking at how welcoming and helpful Brenda is with them. Brenda’s mother is a native of Fredericksburg. And Brenda herself just missed being a native Texan, and was born in Arkansas. She spent many years in Oregon before moving with her family to Austin in 2001. Brenda and her husband, Mike, have a pair of twins at home, Shawna and Erika. They also try and keep up with two grown daughters, Ashley and Megan, who occasionally make their way back home as well as first grandson, Alexander. Brenda is a tour de force at the Better Hearing Center. Not only is she an active member of the Diva Mommas (ask her about it), she’s an active baker! If you are lucky, there will be some of Brenda’s latest baked creation available when you come in for an appointment.

Saleem Assaf

MBA, HIS

Hello! My name is Saleem. I am a native Texas, honest! And I am the Better Hearing Center’s main clinician. My firm belief is that my patients want to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity, that they want straight forward and useful information, and that they want heartfelt care and remarkable ongoing support and service. If you do too, then I look forward to meeting you, your friends, your colleagues and your family at the Better Hearing Center! One promise I made to myself and to my family when I opened the Better Hearing Center was to provide a very high level of patient care and service. I am honored to say my patients tell me every week how much better and unique their care is with us than with most of their other healthcare providers. This level of service and care means a great deal to me, and makes a tremendous difference to my patients and their hearing as well! We are always trying out new ways to improve our service and care, too. A bit about me – I was born in Dallas, which makes me a genuine native-Texas. My wife, Lori, and I have two fantastic children, Calianne and Atiyeh. We have lived in Austin since 1998, and love it! You’ll see them in some of the many photos displayed throughout our exam and testing rooms. Professionally, I have an undergraduate degree from Rice University in Houston, and a graduate business degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I hold a license from the state of Texas to practice as a Hearing Instrument Specialist. And I have completed all of my upper division course work to achieve the Audioprosthologist designation from the International Hearing Society and the American Conference on Audioprosthology. About my name – My father is Lebanese, and my first name means ‘peace’. To pronounce Saleem, just think of the popular singer CELINE DION. My name is pronounced just like hers, except where her name has an ‘N’, put in an ‘M’ and pronounce it like C-E-L-I-M-E, and that’s me, Saleem. I look forward to seeing you at the Better Hearing Center and welcome to opportunity to help you and those around you live better with better hearing!

The Better Hearing Center of Austin Reviews

Here is what people are saying about The Better Hearing Center of Austin:

Very Professional. I am a longtime patient and highly recommend the Better Hearing Center of Austin to everyone with hearing needs!
I enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. Dr. Assaf has a very pleasant and professional manner that is appreciated.
The Better Hearing Center feels like family. I look forward to appointments. Before I got help from Saleem I felt like I was in a hole and embarrassed about not hearing. I now enjoy a life full of family, friends and social activities.
Very detailed, I gained a new understanding of how hearing works and a new appreciation for having two ears. Will recommend Better Hearing center to others!
The personal one on one time spent to make sure every aspect of my hearing aid service was met and has been rewarding. There is nothing like good old-fashioned customer care!
Hearing better. The hearing was crisper and sharper. The feel and look of the hearing was great. Wonderful explanation of everything.
I like that they didn't try to sell me a hearing aid when I did not need one.
The educational aspect and most definitely the professionalism of Saleem was extraordinary. I learned that I may be hearing too well in high frequencies, which is affecting my current hearing during conversations. I've noted his observations and suggestions now during conversation.
I have gone to this clinic for 2 years, and everytime i call or stop in I'm always greeted with a smile and EXCELLENT service. The staff is very friendly and professional and help me with all my questions and concerns. I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my ears looked at & for hearing aids.
Best thing that could have happened to me. I hear loud and clear, a great change and improvement. The level of care is outstanding.
Following the fitting of the hearing aids, and the clinician's sage advice on their use, my lifestyle has improved and I am able to hear clearly and confidently. The service, advice and follow-up care were first class, superb and five star from start to finish. Saleem and Brenda are a world class team.
The hearing aids have improved my life greatly. I have had them for almost 4 years. Anytime that I have had any issues with them, the problems were dealt with quickly & effectively. I've always been able to get service quickly, usually same day!
The office is run very efficiently and the staff is most helpful, professional and not pushy at all. The ear examination and the hearing aids are explained and demonstrated in detail. The technology is awesome. A great experience!
The clinician, Saleem Assaf, and his patient care coordinator, Brenda MacArthur, are the best in the profession of personal care. They are caring, patient, understanding and, most important, professionally first-rate.
Thank to Saleem, I am enjoying hearing better. I am able to continue square dancing now that I can hear the caller again. The care and service provided was excellent. I high recommend the Better Center for help with your hearing.
I liked the polite, courteous staff, very informative and worked with my schedule very well.
I am hearing so well, I'm just smiling like a cheshire cat! The care and service is magnificent.
I like the caring, informative attitude and attentiveness I received. There was no pressure to buy, only a concern about what was best for me.
They have much improved my hearing and understanding. I have been told it is noticeably better. The level of care and service has been outstanding, friendly as well.
Great service! After having my hearing aids for some time, I love knowing that i can come in any time for reprogramming or adjustments as my hearing changes, at no charge!
The clarity of the sound at a distance, what a difference on the TV. Bluetooth equipment makes answering either my home phone or cell phone very convenient.
The hearing aids are excellent. The care in fitting the hearing aids was expert. You will love Dr. Saleem Assaf and Brenda!
I'm very pleased with everything that was done.
The friendly atmosphere, staff was knowledgeable and the doctor's caring attitude. He and Brenda, his assistant, make you feel like they really care about you as a person. He is not pushy and will work with you until you feel comfortable with your hearing aids. He also has you come back for check ups.
Saleem is very professional and sincere. Saleem knows what he is doing and is very friendly all the time.
My clinician, Saleem Assaf, is a very caring person who listens to one's concerns and does everything to clarify any issues one might have. It has been a very rewarding experience working with the Better Hearing Center of Austin.
The treatment is good. I can hear better after adjustments. I enjoy watching TV much more. I would recommend friends to this office.
I like the service and friendly atmosphere for all there! Will be purchasing the hearing aids for sure.
No more background noise. My family really enjoys the Bluetooth - now their ears are not bleeding (from me turning the TV up so loud).
